    The sliders are as seen in the photos and come with 8 nutcerts and the 8 bolts to hold them on. We will provide instruction on how to install the nut certs after you drill 8 holes, you then bolt them on and are ready to go.

    The sliders come bare metal and you can paint them or powder coat them locally or we can have them powder coated here for an additional charge.

    You can have us add the step plate as an option prior to shipping as well (I will post a photo of one with a step this week as well).

    Yes I can... I offer this in response to your question as I do not want to be known as the business that trashes another company in order to promote ( I hope that I always remain above that).

    The Rocky Road slider will run you $400 which is $50 less than what we are asking for ours, the quality of the two is where you will see your getting your monies worth. I personally purchased and installed the Rocky Road on my Commander as my first set of sliders and they are a good product, just not good enough in my opinion.

    This is the Rocky Road slider:



    As you can see they use a 1" square pipe that bolts to your frame and six bolts to your pinch weld, due to the arms being so long they act as a pivot which allows the slider to ride up and just before I removed mine I noticed that I had less than 1/4 inch clearance between the top of the slider and an open door. If you hit rocks hard enough (and I wheel hard) you will bend the Rocky Road up and run the risk of not being able to open your doors.

    As you can see in the following photo (I will replace with a better photo soon), the metal used for our product is 2x4 steel and a 1.5" round tube (round in almost always stronger than square).



    When I removed the Rocky Road slider I found body damage in two places which was actually caused BY the slider, the purpose of a slider is supposed to be to protect the body from damage.

    Our slider also sticks out further from your vehicle in order to prevent the obstacles from causing damage to the side of your vehicle if you get to close.

    I hope that helps and thanks for asking.

    I'm going to need a big hammer LOL
